FABRICATION

Providing Quality Equipment, Every Time!

At Pipeline Equipment, Inc. this is more than just a slogan; it's our founding principle. After spending more than 25 years in the Oil & Gas Industry, our founder set out to build a company with integrity and a dedication to quality and customer service.

Pipeline Equipment, Inc. was founded in 1995 in a small facility in northeastern Oklahoma. With two employees and two welding machines, we began building launchers and receivers for mostly local customers.

We currently have four divisions to meet the needs of our growing global customer base.

LAUNCHERS & RECEIVERS

Pipeline Equipment, Inc. has decades of design and fabrication experience in Pig Launcher and Receiver systems. We offer many configurations including horizontal, vertical, or sloped which can be just the simple launcher and receiver or the complete skid mounted unit with all valves and associated piping. Each configuration is designed to meet your specific application in compliance with the applicable codes and material specifications.

Most pipelines must be pigged to either clean the pipeline for flow improvement and corrosion control, batch different grades of products, displace certain products, or inspect the line for integrity assurance. The primary purpose of a pig launcher and receiver is to allow the launching or receiving of a pipeline pig without interruption of flow.

AUTOMATION

Pipeline Equipment Automation PhotoIn addition to standard units with manual controls, PEI also provides automated units which lessens manpower, valve maintenance, gas releases, and HSE concerns. For rich wet gas systems that require routine pigging to increase production and remove valuable liquids, PEI offers the Automatic Spherical Pig System:

Holds multiple spherical pigs which can be released locally, on a timed basis, or remotely. Cleaning, Batching, and Inspection Pigs can be launched and received in these same systems. Liquid or gas systems may be remotely located (onshore/offshore) and have the same need to routinely launch a cleaning/batching/displacement pig. PEI offers Automated Pig Systems that are either vertical, sloped, or horizontal dependent on the application. Our Automated Control Systems utilize a PLC with an HMI furnished in a Class 1 Division 1 explosion proof housing or Class 1 Division 2 housing mounted in an easily accessible area on the launcher skid.

The automated system controls launch pins and/or valves. It monitors valve and pin position, pig launches, pig indicator actuation, and reports any errors should they occur. It also helps eliminate operator error during the pig launching and receiving cycles.

SPHERICAL PIGS

An inflatable sphere for automated or manual systems to remove liquids from natural gas lines.

MULTI-SEAL PIGS

Multi-cup pigs from batching, displacement and light cleaning applications.

TUFF CAST PIGS

All urethane single cast pig for batching, displacement and light cleaning applications.

BIDI PIGS

Re-buildable metal modified pigs equipped with disc front and rear for bidirectional travel applications.

CONICAL FLEX PIGS

Re-buildable metal body pigs offered in multiple configurations for batching, displacement and heavy cleaning applications.

MEASUREMENT

Pipeline Equipment, Inc. designs and fabricates liquid and gas measurement equipment to customer specifications and to all applicable codes. PEI will fabricate using ultrasonic meters, turbine meters, positive displacement meters, Coriolis meters, single or dual chamber orifice fittings, or any equipment required to assure the precise measurement of your product. From single meter tubes to complete, skid-mounted systems with buildings and all necessary instrumentation, PEI will provide quality equipment that meets your requirements.

VALVE SETTINGS

Transmission pipelines require mainline valves located at key positions for isolation, section vent or drain, and equalization purposes. These are referred to as valve settings. Each valve setting includes a mainline for shutoff, a smaller by-pass line to equalize pressure or fill connecting sections, and a vent and/or section drain down line. PEI provides prefabricated valve settings to reduce field installation time. PEI provides complete valve settings fabricated to your specification and dimensions, coated and ready for field installation.
